    Not having a great day. So I want to try my Strawberry Ice Cream Cone and I grab a spare base for a 5ml Dvarw fl. Nope, won’t read the coil. Wire came off no doubt. So grab another base and….peak chimney comes on. Third one works and thank goodness ice cream is yummy but now I have 2 bases to wick and one to coil and wick. UGH. I really need to order those mag glasses.

    I use a table magnifying lamp, type of swivel with arm adjustment, ring led light, I think it cost around 40-50 $ in its time.
    It has been worth every $.
    Kinda like this:

    I just ordered another Dovpo Topside dual squonker from FT. It's my first order in a couple of months, not counting coils or flavors. It's supposed to ship today, but YNK with FT.

    I just got back from having my device activated. I think it really was activated, but of course I can't be sure. My hoarse voice, which has been getting better, suddenly briefly got worse. Hoarseness is an effect when the device fires. I also felt a "sensation" on the left side of my neck. I guess I'll find out for sure in a year.

    Hoping it’s working..

    I thought you had been cancelled for good.
    Be careful, we wouldn't want that to happen.

    I'll have to get the salted caramel, but I have the others you mentioned. What %s of each do you use?
    For solo % I use caramel at 3 and cake at 5 (I don't get any "salted" in the caramel and the yellow cake is very mild but a really nice cake... it's a good sub for FW because that has actual fructose in it... coil gunker)
    I learned my lesson... won't happen again.

    Just for that - "YOU" - come here . . .
    No worries (have many friends that go "this way or that"... has never bothered me at all) It's a long story, but since I went to a party in 1979 (I was 19) I realized none of that matters. I'm still married (another long story) but we are separated by distance (but still soul mates) but don't judge others for their personal preferences.

    I was going to wait until tomorrow to mix (mostly SFTs of my new FA flavors) but I rinsed/dried my zlide a couple days ago and it's driving ma nuts not being able to use it (been waiting to put FA lulo in it) so going to at least mix the 5 solo flavors (including cappuccino that I'm anxious to try in another tank... will clean it tonight) Actual recipes mixes can wait though.

    I remembered you are a fan of peppermint @FranC (me too) and it's great in your ICB! I have always made my peppermint mix with TFA/VBIC, in my limited daily rotation for years, and love it with your ICB. I kept TFA/peppermint at the same 3% I normally use.

    Yes, I am. Unfortunately I can only vape it in a tanked carto. It somehow cuts the sweetness for me. You however have me curious if I could vape a small bit in my ice cream. I’ll have to try it.

    Somewhere between here and there
    Just found out from my wife that my youngest daughter went and bought a border collie. I’m not crazy about her having a dog while going to college but she knows that she has to work and pay for it’s expenses. She’s going to have fun raising a puppy by herself. I can’t wait to hear how it chewed her favorite shoes.

    @Zazie I have a weird one

    Jammy Croissant
    SSA Cranberry Jam .07%
    FA Almond .5%
    TFA Pom 2 drops

    Mixed with SMT's Croissant Base

    PS. For anyone that has the flavors. Please mix this and tell me what you think.
    I have those! I probably won’t mix till Monday though.
    On the track for figuring out what I added to the blah mix before I left… FA apricot and SSA nectarines, plus yes, we cheesecake. The “blah” was a custard +biscuit. My notes on that one show I calculated for 10 ml, but it was in a bigger bottle. Don’t think that would affect the end result that much. I think I’ll bag that and mix the two fruits with the yogurt drink base. What do you think?

    You might like LB (liquid barn) one shot "white chocolate peppermint". It's really good on it's own. Being a one-shot, you have to mix it high (like 8%)

    My oldest came home with a long hair, mini dachshund when she was in college. The pup was a shoe chewing, undie stealing, sneak lol. And, expensive. Her father dug his heels in, and she routinely asked for vet $$ for her birthday and Christmas.

    My FT order with the 8 pack of DTs you have finally shipped! I’d forgotten all about it

    I mixed my new FA flavors. All just small 10 ml SFTs... except cappuccino (it smelled heavenly so mixed 25 ml)
    I smelled them all first: fuji (apple) and white peach smell spot on. Lulo is interesting (waiting till I vape it but getting a sort of grapefruit/pineapple?) Liquid amber is very intriguing (had to look up how to spell that word) It smelled familiar but couldn't nail it down... butterscotch and rum? Will tell you when I vape it (it was really just for my peach and apple pies but who knows)
